Hello all,
Small suggesting: Will it be possible to push KDE4 into F8's update-testing? (Without pushing the update into -updates) Seems to me that it should increase the number of KDE4 testers by adding those who cannot afford to use a rawhide machine on a daily basis, but are willing to help test KDE4 on their F8 installs.

Considering the way these are packaged, you cannot do a side by side install with 3.5.x. Therefore, I do not think this is feasible. If KDE4 were packaged the way SUSE packages their's then more people would be on board.

Yes, it would prevent 3.5.x updates from being tested. A solution might be to start a semi-official repository offering backports of KDE4 for F8, but from my (limited) experience with openSUSE Build Service backport repos, the packages there tend to be not properly tested, and sometimes different backport repositories don't even play well together. So it's not a decision to be taken lightly either.

There is such a thing, the kde-redhat/unstable repo, but as the name suggests... :)

kde4 development platform updates (kdelibs4, kdepimlibs, kdebase-runtime, kdebase4), yes, but the rest of it, no.
